Dear All,
  I am using SoapClient 1.0 to call a WebMethod that takes a name and
returns a string...but if i call this webmethof with umlaut characters
what gets returned in place of umlaut characters is ??...am I doing
something wrong here is there a solution to this?
Here is the code...
   Dim ws As New MSSOAPLib.SoapClient
   txtURL.Text = "http://localhost/MyTest/WSSimple/Service1.asmx?wsdl"
   ws.mssoapinit txtURL
   txtName.Text = ws.HelloWorld2(txtError.Text)

I even tried using XMLHTTP but got the same result...
here is the code...
   Set xmldom = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
   Set pi = xmldom.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "
version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""")
   xmldom.insertBefore pi, xmldom.childNodes.Item(0)

   Set objXMLroot = xmldom.createNode(1, "SOAP:Envelope",
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")

   xmldom.appendChild (objXMLroot)
   objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:soap",
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
   objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:xsi",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:xsd",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

   Set objxmlbody = xmldom.createElement("SOAP:Body")
   xmldom.documentElement.appendChild (objxmlbody)

   Set objxmlmethod1 = xmldom.createNode(1, "HelloWorld2",
"http://tempuri.org/")
   objxmlbody.appendChild (objxmlmethod1)

   Set objxmlparam1 = xmldom.createNode(1, "myName",
"http://tempuri.org/")
   objxmlparam1.Text = Trim(txtError.Text)
   objxmlmethod1.appendChild (objxmlparam1)
   
   Set XMLHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
   XMLHTTP.Open "POST",
"http://localhost/Mytest/WSSimple/Service1.asmx", False
   XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction",
"http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld2"
   XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
   XMLHTTP.send (xmldom)
   MsgBox XMLHTTP.responseText, vbOKOnly, "Soap Response Payload from
Server"

Please help...
